21ST CENTURY SKILLS AND THEIR IMPACT ON EDUCATION

Abstract

The 21st century is definitely the century of innovation, development and ideation. Trends in technology, education and economics are moving towards automation. This revolution that the world is going through, and that is most felt in the workplace, would not have been possible without the preparation of a new generation who in the future will be the flourishing instruments of a dynamic modern world.  When we say the preparation of young people for a new society and new economy, we refer to some skills which are vital in the individual growth of each of them, physically and mentally, and the benefits of which are felt not only in the individual but also those who surround it.  These skills are also known as "21st Century Skills", a long list of soft skills, learning skills, literacy skills and life skills.
